GuardClauses VS modular-monolith-with-ddd

You could also use the Ardalis Guard Clause, Ardalis Result and Fluent Validation

Here is an example how one would make sure our order total is valid. For this purpose I use an amazing library called GuardClauses.

GuardClauses

I'm guessing it's just a port of Ardalis' Guard class since he helped a lot with Microsoft's web projects.

The Guard Clauses are from: https://github.com/ardalis/GuardClauses

In terms of readability concerns, I definitely hear you on that. Using something like this can cut down on code bloat that comes with param validation and help with readability.

It's made by Ardalis, who wrote Microsoft's architectural guide for ASP.NET Core Web APIs. I like his GuardClauses library too.

- https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd (a really well documented example)

You can see there is a module called building_blocks. Inside it, I keep all the utilities needed in the project, like a logger, serializers, and so on. I did not make up this name, I borrowed it from this repo.

9. Modular Monolith with TDD

This covers far more than just DDD, however, I find the links and README super helpful for a wide range of subjects: https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd

Modular monolith. Here is one of the best production-ready examples https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd

Am wondering what react community thinks of DDD.

I've been reading "blue" DDD book (by Eric Evans) and "red" book (by Vaugh Vernon) and that was a completely "my whole life was a lie" type of experience and relief at the same time. It's just so great to have the principles of who to structure the code. It, by definition makes, your codebase structure meaningful. Because it's structured according to some common knowledge, not your random thoughts at the time you were writing code.

I was surprised to find so little DDD react sample codebases. Let's say for backend there is huge amount of samples, i.e. https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd . For react/frontend I have bookmarked only https://github.com/talyssonoc/react-redux-ddd/tree/master/sr... and few more, but those others does not meet the optional criteria i like really much - at the highest (or at app) level all codebase need to have folders app, domain, infra and ui. Simple rule, but simplifies life a lot.

So my question is - is DDD for some reasons not very applicable for app frontend development. Or it just never became popular. Or maybe DDD is popular amongst react developers, just I am not aware of this.

Many thanks for any ideas and comments!
